    Not accusing anyone of anything, just asking (because sometimes people mis-type). Is it a "multi-employer" plan or a "multiple-employer" plan?
  2. david rigby
    You may have another problem: If the facts show that he was "over-allocated" and overpaid, but does not re-pay, does that alter the viability of hiring and/or contracting with this person? And think about this from the viewpoint of the rank-and-file EE.

    Let's also point out: even if disability is "due to" an older illness/condition, that does not mean the disability itself will be deemed to date back that far. While there may be some debate about the timing, the determination will be (should be) medically based, according to plan procedures. As noted above by CuseFan, if the plan's provision about disability does not affect the plan definition of vesting, then any possible retroactive determination may have no effect on the resulting plan benefit, so you may wish to gather this information first.

    Normally, vesting % is determined at the separation of employment date (quit, fire, retire, disable, die, whatever). Have you reviewed the precise definition in the plan document? in the Summary Plan Description? Observation: becoming disabled at a later date is (usually) not relevant, unless the disability determination is retroactive to on or before the separation of employment.

    Can you accomplish your goal by "un-terminating" the plan, and then "re-terminating" in 2018?
  7. david rigby
    Seems like a pretty good response. Another phrasing might be, "What does the plan document say?"
  8. david rigby
    Yep, every actuary with a takeover relationship has had the same thoughts. Generally, we just remove (code D) as many (lump sums) as possible next filing. If the person has previously been reported as D, so what? (To be precise, we assume such reporting is "no harm, no foul".)

    Does "church plan" apply?
  10. david rigby
    If the company no longer exists, presumably there are no employees and no plan, so why did the original question ask about "future 5500's"? Perhaps it's prudent to narrow down the meaning of "gone bankrupt". Maybe it's not liquidation, but reorganization? Just askin'.

    Merely as a reference, it's likely most Separation Agreements include a phrase similar to: "Both parties acknowledge and agree that prior to and at the time of the division of properties as more particularly set out in this Separation Agreement, each has made a full disclosure ..."
  12. david rigby
    Yes, the J&S waiver would apply.

    Could the participant take a lump sum distribution directly to IRA, then have the IRA purchase whatever annuity is desired (possibly spending less than 100% of the IRA value)?
  14. david rigby
    I'm reading the original question as referring to a DC plan. Perhaps ErisaApple will clarify?
  15. david rigby
    Be careful when trying to attach logic to the legislative process.

    2. I wonder who is your client: one attorney? both sides? I agree that drafting a DRO contrary to the plain reading of supporting documents is not good practice. I foresee a scenario where you draft as instructed, the other party objects, and they tweak your draft, and refuse to pay you.

    Thanks, Dave! If we see a name of "ClevelandIndiansFan", we'll know who it is.
  18. david rigby
    Ask him to prove it.

    Assuming the plan currently contains no provision allowing this rollover (as described by KevinC), the simplest way for the plan to handle this is the response "No".

    1. IMHO, no. 2. What Bird said.
  24. david rigby
    You need a domestic relations/divorce attorney, but make sure you get one with intimate knowledge of QDROs. Better yet, get one with experience dealing with the federal pension system(s).
  25. david rigby
    Are you sure about this? I agree they are not subject to the IRC requirement, but it was my understanding that they have adopted the QDRO procedures, although they use the term "court order" rather than "QDRO". (I might be misinformed, just asking.)
